According to LinguaFranca (archival link below), the phrase, "bad actor," which literally just means a person who acts badly, has been in the American lexicon longer than we've been alive. Your inability to extricate the phrase from a theater setting isn't the phrase's fault.

You may check Nobel Laureate Dario Fo's works.
He put a great deal on rebuilding an Italian "linguafranca" the comedians used in Renassiance to make the same show all across Italy in wide varieties of dialects.
Fo had a very strong political colour in painting it, but the historical base is solid
